CK Animal Rescue

Chatham Kent Animal Rescue, (aka CK Animal Rescue), Charitable No. 852128701 RR0001, was formed in October 2010 and our office is located in southwestern Ontario, Canada. Our rescue is a registered non profit RESCUE, 100% volunteer based organization with dedicated animal lovers who volunteer their time, love, commitment and open their homes to care for our rescued dogs (& cats). Our volunteers and foster families are located within southwestern Ontario (Sarnia, London, Chatham Kent, Blenheim, Leamington, Ridgetown, Windsor and surrounding areas).

We are NOT a shelter and we do NOT receive any government funding. Our rescue depends on fundraising events, donations and adoption fees to pay our operating costs and vetting for all our dogs, cats and small animals. All of our adoptable dogs and cats are living in foster homes as family members until we are able to help them find their forever homes.

Dogs who come to our rescue were scheduled to be euthanized from high kill shelters, advertised as “free to good home”, ex breeder dogs, from hoarding situations as well as local owner surrenders. Many of our volunteers work full time, attend school or retired, every one works many extra hours for the love of the animals in our rescue. Our ultimate goal is to find permanent safe, loving homes through our foster/adoption program.

Donations are greatly NEEDED for the unwanted animals who enter our foster program. YOU Can Make a Difference for One Life!

Happy Endings

I joined the CK Rescue team October 2014 as a foster. I have had countless jobs in my life time but this is the best job I ever had (and I don’t get paid for it ). My partner and I have had a lot of foster dogs since then. We even adopted one. These poor animals come from abusive..

I first started working with CK Animal Rescue back in 2013. I was very interested in fostering. What impressed me most was that a home visit volunteer came to my house to ensure that the dogs in the rescue’s care would be safe and well looked after.

CK Animal Rescue offers shelter, love and support to dogs and cats through our foster program until they find their forever homes. This undertaking requires continuous funding for medications and care of the animals. Our rescue does NOT receive any government funding whatsoever. Our funding comes from donations, adoption fees and fundraising events. Donations are so important to provide for these animals – spay/neuter, vaccinations, heartworm testing, infections, medications, unexpected surgeries and the list goes on. Tax deductible receipt is available upon request. Every dollar makes a huge difference for the animals in our care.
